Complexity and Health
Vision and Scope
The Complexity and Health Cluster aims to break down disciplinary boundaries and foster interconnectedness rather than isolation. This approach recognizes that different levels of organization – whether cells, individuals, social networks, or entire cultures – can exhibit similar behaviors or influence each other in unexpected ways over time.

We foster dynamic research communities known as clusters, each dedicated to exploring specific themes of contemporary relevance. These clusters serve as vibrant platforms for discussion, collaboration, and innovation across various fields.

Vision and Scope

By adopting the principles of complexity science, we seek to address pressing health challenges and design systems that promote well-being. Collaboration across fields is essential to this mission, moving beyond the “our discipline vs. their discipline” mindset. Join us as we explore and apply these insights to meaningful research and practical solutions.
